I made note of A ...So many great books today, Beth! I made note of A Sick Day for Amos McGee, since it sounds like you loved it so much and I'd want to read the first book before the sequel! Off-Limits sounds like such a delightful story as well—it's such an immediately brilliant premise that I'm surprised no one else has thought of it yet, so kudos to Yoon for the idea!<br /><br />And Keep Going sounds really powerful! I really appreciate Kleon's and your thoughts about not monetizing hobbies you love—you're right, there is so much pressure to do that, and it really is an "excellent" way to destroy the things you enjoy! I'm so sorry that happened to you when you tried to become a piano teacher, but it's wonderful that you were able to overcome that and love the piano again. I'll have to remember that as I figure out my own career path! Thanks so much for the great picks and thoughtful ideas, Beth!Max @ Completely Full Bookshelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04466405075405012116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202949130902554989.post-33862620718609642152022-01-10T21:09:45.924-05:002022-01-10T21:09:45.924-05:00I have two of these - Amos and Have you Seen Flowe...I have two of these - Amos and Have you Seen Flowers in my Mock Caldecott stack.

I have no doubt it will be brilliant. <br />I didn't even know about Austin Kleon, but this book sounds like an important read. I guess the best thing about being retired is that it easier to just do things we love to do without worrying about how to pay the bills.Cheriee Weichelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15662398117320256935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202949130902554989.post-67335579334159522952022-01-10T12:18:20.016-05:002022-01-10T12:18:20.016-05:00I'm envious that you are already reading the n...I'm envious that you are already reading the new Sepetys book, cannot wait to read! I remember loving playing with office supplies, imagine I will like that new Office - Limits. I read too quickly but was at my favorite Indie the other day & got a quick look at the new Amos McGee - very cute. Thanks for all, Beth, must find that new Austin Kleon, too!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.com
